BOOKOFF San Diego is a vibrant store offering a wide variety of used books, DVDs, CDs, collectibles, and more, reminiscent of shops found in Japan. Customers praise the store for its extensive selection, including a special section for $1.00 books that often yields hidden gems. The employees are noted for their helpfulness and dedication to customer service, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the store can get busy, leading to a crowded experience, and some customers find the organization of items chaotic. Despite the overwhelming nature of the space, the prices are generally considered good, making it an appealing destination for those looking to buy or sell. Located near the Convoy area, BOOKOFF is a must-visit for anyone interested in anime, consoles, or just exploring a treasure trove of media. Visitors are advised to consider street parking due to the busy lot.
Plenty of neat stuff, but their used prices for discs is crazy. Almost better to go on ebay. Not sure how they're business model survives, but they have lots of foot traffic.

It gets 5 stars because where can you find Book Off outside of Japan? This shop has the anime, consoles, collectibles, and cards. Great shop! Just like being in Tokyo.
